"A Horrid Han" Has Jotted Down Few of the Things That He Has Kotleed, What man is there that has not noticed the many funny little peculiarities that are characteristic of nearly all of the dear fe male sex f Perhaps you never did, so I am going to call your attention to some of them, and just for fun watch nnd see if it Isn't true. A woman seldom gets up from her chair when she has been sowing or darning with out letting a pair of scissors drop from her lap to the floor. Nine out of every ten will do it. It would almost seem that the bother of having to stoop and pick them op would beBitflicient to break them of the habit, but it does not, and she keeps stoop ing for those scissors all her life. One would suppose that Monday would be the most busy day of the week at home for farmers' wives, and that what little time they had to spare would be gludly used in sitting down and resting. Yet of all the days in the week there is none that suits the womnn so well to "go some where" as washing day. There is a sort of Inborn desire or whim to "be out" some where that day. Perhaps they do It to rest themselves, and perhaps they wish to let other women see they are through wash ing. ) It is Jlmply one of their ways. Did you aver notice a woman who Is leaving friends, when she is about to get on or leave a horse corf She docs not say her "gobdbys" until the car has stopped, and then all sorts of requests, messuges, kisses and "good by s" until everybody is out of patience and the car ready to start. One would think she could do all this be forehand, but she never does and that is all there is to it. Did you ever know or hear of two or more women being together for any length of time, that the conversation did not turn to the matter of dress sooner or later? Did you ever observe how a woman throws a stone or anything? Or how she drives a nail f (This can't be described.) Or how she "shoos" the chickens with her skirts, apron and a sort of conglomeration between a courtesy, a twitch and a stoop? Did you ever notico how they cry at all sorts of provocations and all sorts of rea sons If they are in sorrow they cry, and If they are Joyful they cry. They cry when they are scolded, and they cry when they are petted. These different cries must emanate from different sources of feelings, but bow is one to know which is which? Did you ever notice when two of the fe male six meet on the street how very sure they are to look bock at each other after passing? What do they do it for? How do they gauge just the proper time to look back and not catch each other looking? Did you ever see a woman try to use a shovel? Of course there is no need of her doing so, but she docs sometimes and the light is painful. Did any of you married men ever notice that your wives never gut corsets the Bize they really ought to have? They always buy them from three to six sizes smaller and then let them way out. I have often thought about it, and have concluded that as they don t ever see them behind when on they make themselves believe that that Is their proper size, and it Is a sort of satis faction to them to say that they wear so small a number. Did you ever know women to follow ex actly any particular receipt, tablo or rule lor mixing and cooking anything? No, you never did; they never do. They guess at everything, and while they hit it in many cases, when they don t they explain the failure by saying they guess they did not get in quite enough of this or that, or else the stove did not work right. They hute rules or anything that calls Upon them to do "exactly so," and they had much rather guess at a "cupful," "tea- spoonful" or quarter of a pound than to measure It. These are only a few peculiarities, and tney are not presented In a critical sense, nut only as an otiacrvtttlon. No doubt we fellows have an equal number of queer ways. a noma Man in liuston Ulobe. A Woman Worth Over 00,000. Sixty thousand dollars in cash and bank books representing $30,000 were found at Lyme, Conn., recently. They are the hidden wealth belonging to the late Mrs. Jane Kingsbury, who was sap- posed to be poor. Attorney Cunningham and a Mr. Gris wold came across several bankbooks concealed in a chost in a spare bedroom. They were found in bureau drawers which had not been used to the knowl edge of the other persons in the boose lor years. The books represented deposits amount ing to about fao.000. The search was Continued and 160,000 in money was fonnd hidden in different places. Of this sum $14,000 was in gold pieces In denominations ranging from one dol lar to fifty iTolIurs. The balance was in currency. It was all bidden in the bot toms of trunks, bureau drawers and beds. Bow Mrs. Kingsbury hoarded this monoy is a mystery to every one famil iar with her mauner of living. What ber income was no one knows, but it was always thought she lived up to it Years ago Mrs, Kingsbury, who wit. the wife of Major Kingsbury and mother-in-law of ex-Governor Buckner, of Kentucky, figured in a series of law suits in this state and Kentucky. They lasted for twelve years. Cor. New York Bun. fUR BUSINESS IS selling Groceries at wholesale prices direct to the consumer.

Chess by Telephone A novel nse of the telephone has been made in England on the occasion of a chess match between the British Chess club in London and the Liverpool Chess club. All the moves were mode by tele phone, the transmitter having a uickel plated mouthpiece and being of the granular type, which is specially fitted for long distance tal k. Two games were played simultaneously, the first being lost by the London club, and the second, which lasted more than soven hours, be ing a draw. A very amusing incident happened when London, at 7 p. ui., proposed an adjournment of the game over the din ner hour, nnd board No. 2 at the sumo time offered a draw. Both offers were declined by Liverpool with thanks, un answer which was received with shouts of laughter by the members of the Lon don club, who had mustered in great force for the occasion. "We hoard yon laugh," was the mes sage sent at once by the Liverpool wen, much to the amusement of the London audience. At the conclusion of the sec ond game a return mutch was arranged for the following Saturday, with a time limit of twelve moves per hour, and a hearty cheer was given by London nnd responded to by Liverpool. Pittsburg Dispatch, Introduction of m New Train Signal. The boll used in the roof of the loco motive cab to signal the engineer wheu to stop and start will soon be a thing of the post A now air train signal is fast taking the place of the boll or gong, and already all the passengor couches on the Luke Shore nnd Wabash railroads are equipped with the air signal instead of the boll. The air signal is worked by moans of a small rubber or iron tribe that runs undor the coaches, like the air iripes to work the air brukes. In the locomotive cab there is an iron whistle. Slid when the conductor desires to stop the train he pulls on imliort rope or lever that allows the air to escape and the whistle in the cnb sounds the signal. It is claimed that this is much superior to the boll urrungomont, for the reason that it works hotter on a long truin. The boll sometimes failed to respond on long trains, and serious accidents oc curred on that account. The bellrope was also a handy thing for truin robbers tocut in order to prevent an alarm while they wore looting the wealth of the pas sengers. The other loading railroads of the country will adopt the air train sig nal as soon as they ran got it attached to their coaches. The New York Con tral, Pennsylvania, Baltimore ami Ohio and the Dig Pour are having the new system of signaling the engineer at tached to thutr trains. New York Tele gram. A Naples Donkey Harrow Story. A ridiculous incident is recorded by our correspondent at Naples. There Is an asylum in that city for old eople. in the service of which is used a small don key barrow on which is inscribed the words "Little Sisters of the Poor,' and which is generally used for collecting old gifts, from the sale of which the in stitute derives un income of about SO,- 000 f runes a year.

The snow bod been fulling all day long, and the durk November weather had changed the streets of Purls to dis mal drains for the melting flukes. An omnibus stopped at the bead of Prony street, and from Its aristocratic interior stepped a twelve-year-old boy with a morocco satchel under his arm Be ran to the door of an elegunt house, and the next moment was clattering up the marble steps to the vestibule. "Is mother borne?" be asked of the servant, as she helped him off with bis wet overcoat and loggings. No, was the answer. "Dor ladyship has not come in. And my sisters?" Miss Christine and Miss Yvonne are in the reception room with Diana and their dolls." In the reception room ho found Chris tine seated before a cheerful lira Oh, bow glad 1 am that you have got homol" she cried, throwing hor arms about bis neck. "We tire so lonely! Fathor went out of tor break fust, and mother about the time you loft for school Father cume back with some cakes, but he went right out again." 1 have been thinking of father and mother all schooltime. Something is wrong. Have you not noticed, Chris tine?" "Mother seemed a little put out with father. But that is nothing new. 1 have noticed that this long time." "Yes, cried little six-yeur-old Yvonne, I huve often seen papu crying when J caught him in the study and put my hands over his eyes. Ever since the ludy in red" "What is that she is chattering about?" interrupted the boy, with a superior air. Yvonne was touched in hor feminine weuk spot. "1 know it better than you, for 1 was with maimnu. We were coming out of the Louvre shops, and 1 bad my balloon the one you broke" "You should say burst," said her brother. Taking no notice, the child went on with her story: "Then mamma said to Firmin, 'I am going to walk ucross the Palais Royal: have the carriage for us before the , Bourse.'" Christine and Uaetan looked at each other, hardly able to keep from laugh ing. But Yvonne kept ou with her re flections. "I know what I saw, at any rate. And when we mot papa with the lady in red, mamma drew me away and squeezed my wrist so hard she hurt me." "What lady in rod?" exclaimed Chris tine. "There, now!" cried Yvonno, "per haps you'll believe me. And the ludy had an elegunt bonnet, and a gold veil. and a silk parasol, and, and" But Uuotun jumped up suddenly, ex claiming: "Don't listen to her nonsense! Why should not papa walk with a lady in red if he wants to? There are plenty of ladies come here on mamma's Thurs days, and she and pa don't got angry over thorn." "Of course not," said Christine.

"So having broken your faith, yon wish now to play the magnanimous!" "Remember that 1 have been defeated. I am punished enough." "That is so. But that punishment weighs upon me, too, and wore heavily than you imagine. The sight of my ruined home, the publicity of all and the scandal afloat!" "Yon were inflexible. "My dignity was at stake, sir." "Say your pride." "Yes, and my hate. I could not forgive yon for giving me a rival." "A rival! 1 have told you a hundred times how it was. You were off in the country, nursing your mother. You had all the children, and there I was alone in Paris for months, with nothing to do and bored to death. Then the otirjor- tunity came.

In vain the countess held out her units to him. iio only cried still more vehe mently, "No, no; I do not love you. heard you driving pupa away." His father tried in turn to draw him toward his mother, saying gontly, "My boy, be reasouublo; you are causing your mother much pain." But in the middle of his nervous fury the boy suddenly sank to the floor and lay at his length upon thocarpot, crying over and over again, "Papa, papa," as though his heart would break. The count lifted him and placed him in the great armchair, and his mother in great agitation kneeled by Ins side But with a violent movement of his arm the boy pushed her rudely away. "Who could huve told (iaetan such stories?" asked the count "Nobody bus told mo anything," said Oaotan through his tears. "They took us in to dinner, but 1 saw John packing a vulise and I came buck. The door of the room was open and 1 got behind the screen. And whon I heard mamma scolding you nnd found that she had taken her keys, I mado up my mind not to love ber and to go awuy with you." "My boy, you did very wrong to listen and you did not understand what your mother said. Be quiet and believe what tell you. 1 have given hor the keys because 1 am going away."

"You see very well thut 1 must go with him," said the Jxy. "You will have Christine and Yvonne, and it is not fair to leave him alono." "So you refuse to stay with me," said the countess. "Yes, becuuse you are so meun." "And suppose 1 give the keys back to your father and make him stay here" "Oh, my deur, good mamma!" The boy bud passed one arm around his mother's neck, his other one being still around his father's, so thut he held them both in one embrace. "Then, mamma, as you have mado him cry, kiss hiin and then I will kiss you with all my heart." "Clotildol begged the count, over come, "for our boy's sake!" "Yes!

Mechanical World. Advertising on Letters. The Idea of advertising by means of what purports to he misdirected private post curds has apparently been improved npon (like ninny of pur ideas) in the United States. A lady tells mo that she recently received from her son in Amer ica a letter, on tlie envelope of which was written in writing closely resemb ling that of the address, "Read the lost number of the Kevicw." Un inquiry it appeared thnt tho son hud not written this inscription, which hud therefore been added (presumably) in the post- oflice. It is to be hoiied that this Yan kee notion will not 'catch on" in this country; but I take it that most of our poatothce clerks huve their time too well occupied to iermit of thoir undertaking to inscribe advertisements on tho letters which pass through their hands.

We knew him by the name of 'Crazy Jack.' I cannot be mistaken. I could tell him anywhere on earth." Nevertheless, the jury decided that the claimant is "Rickety Dan" and not William Newby. On the other hand, a second brother and a sister of Dill Newby think this is not the man. Two women who tramped with Dan Ilenton swore that th is man is Dan, and one of tli-m produced her son ns his, and the re semblance is marked. The defense admit all the charges against their client since 1805 and sny that lu bis dazed condition he wandered from the far south to Tennessee, was mere mistaken for Kickety Dan," as sumed the name and did all the things charged. If "Rickety Dun" were a lost heir, a no bleman's child stolen by gypsies, or nny other of the stock characters of the stago and romance, his doings could not have been traced with more minute detail. United States detectives have been for two years getting up his history. He was born, in lS4o, and though apparently simple pos sesses a deal of low cunning. Kurly iu life ho began to trade on his iiilirmity, but later became u criminal und in 1887 was sent to the Tennessee penitentiary. In 18SU he came out and has since wandered from poorliouse to poorhouse all over the west. They have records of his life in 65 poor houses. Finally he readied White county, and being mistaken for Hill Newby at tempted to get about f),0U0 of back pen sion money. The defense claimed thut William Newby of Company 11, Fortieth Illinois infantry, was horribly wounded and taken prlsonerat Shiloh; that when turned loose from An dersonville he wandered to Tennessee, was mistaken for Dan Henton, us aforesaid, and wandering on reached White county in 1891. They also adduced testimony that thecorpse of one Hiram .Morris was mistaken for that ol e by and buried as such at Shiloh. In 18h4 the widow of Dill Newby applied foraixl obtained a pension of $8 per month for herself and & per month for each of her six children till they should reach the age of 10. When "Rickety Dun" turned up and was identified as Newby he applied for a pension. For people of leisure at Spriiifcfield the trial and its adjuncts have been us a long and thrilling military drama with the real soldiers for actors, liesides the Teunessee ans regularly summoned ninny others have come, and many from the old neighbor hood there now live in Illinois. Whole platoons of ex-Coiifcderules have met whole companies of Federal veterans, and the war has beeu fought over again in a friend ly way, but with the true dramatic firs that comes of experience.
